*THR FIRST PRINTED EDITION of the works of this philosopher. This is Jo. B. Rosarius
copy, whose signature is on the title-page. Rosarius was a famous French humanist, Greek
scholar and physician of the beginning of the 16th Century. He was the first to translate
Alexander from Aphrodisia s works into Latin, and he evidently intended to publish the correct
Greek text of the philosopher. The present volume as corrected by Rosarius represents this
correct text , which never was published. As Rosarius states in his long manuscript note on the
title-page, he collated this printed Aldine text with not less than five ancient manuscript
codices, one of which was in his own possession (he refers to it as “codex meus ” or abbre¬
viated c. m.), the other in S. Mark’s library in Venice (vetus codex or v. c. ); the third codex is
referred to as “ antiquus codex” or a. c., etc.
In a beautiful handwriting Rosarius gives us the different readings of the five different
codices as compared with the Aldine text. It is therefore safe to say that this book is, from a
scholarly standpoint as well as from the point of view of a collector, a very extraordinary
treasure.
